Re: The "Peralta" Stone Maps --- On Their Own
Plus....Since the Dotted Trail on the Heart Stone stops, where the two paper maps turn and go northward-ish, stretching things like a cheap bra at a drive-in movie, the Priest Stone does have that 8-N-P notation which some say means 8 (distance units) North, and they thought the P was for paces. Maybe the P is for "Peralta"?
But mainly, maybe it's saying, "At the end point, turn and go North"?
...Just throwing that one out there....
But the other similarities do seem quite coincidental.

Re: The "Peralta" Stone Maps --- On Their Own
Ha ha, slow down, Oro. It's just a song, remembering Atlantis and lamenting its passing. I'll wager I'm one of the Atlantis legend's strongest believers here, so climb off please.
When the city of Atlantis stood serene above the sea,
Long time before our time when the world was free,
Those were the days.
Golden cymbals flying on ocarina sounds,
Before wild Medusa's serpents gave birth to hell
Disguised as heaven.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere, where are they now?
They're gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Tie your painted shoes and dance, blue daylight in your hair,
Overhead a noiseless eagle fans a flame.
Wonder everywhere.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.
Those were their ways, miracles everywhere, are they now?
They're gone.
Those were their ways, yes they were, those were their ways.
Those were the days, yes they were, those were the days.

Re: The "Peralta" Stone Maps --- On Their Own
Yes,which is why I mentioned it in my previous post.
And went to the effort of doing a bit of climbing to obtain these two photos of Weavers.
First from 33°34'10.86"N - 111°20'49.07"W ....the sombrero shaped high point of Horse Mesa
Second,a 5x telephoto, from 33°33'22.79"N - 111°20'56.62"W .... the highest point of Coronado Mesa.
The third is of something below.Another rock which looks like an indian head/face.
The fourth is on a rock face in the area as well.It's not just a small scratching.The distance is about 200 yds.

I don't know, but, like you pointed out, and as I was thinking, the similarities could indicate a time frame between the Stones and those two maps (I'm including the one which supposed to be one of Julia's because of the Apache Camp thing).
It could be just a coincidence, or rather several of them. But it makes the Stones story seem possibly...fishy.
Joes map puts a "cave?" at or near the Big Hole. But I don't know if there is anything regarding a horse around there or not.

Re: The "Peralta" Stone Maps --- On Their Own
The natives had many popular campgrounds in the mountains.Pretty much anywhere there was water and food available.I don't think Waltz,himself,ever mentioned an "Apache Camp",but the old army maps show where a few were.Not sure Joe would agree with the term "Apache Camp" anyway.Doubt he would consider any kind of horse,other than what he rode in on,as part of his solution.

I just saw the picture you posted (you put it up while I was typing my last reply). I've read that there were some that liked to make caliche out of the rock that they were "patching up," so it would look like nothing was there. It kinda looks like that's what your picture is of.
I've seen people mention a horse formation somewhere in there, and I think it was just the head, but I don't know exactly where. There may be more than one.
Nice picture!

I haven't seen sheep sporting a forelock like that.

"I've read that there were some that liked to make caliche out of the rock that they were "patching up,""
I have seen where that has been done.Even where moss or lichen was mixed and used as a fibre reinforcement on vertical surfaces.
"They" also mined lime,cooked it in kilns and ground it to powder in rock mortars,making quicklime for concrete.So much in fact,that the trail by which it was transported over the mountains has extensive patches of broken "cement" where large amounts were spilled during transit.Quicklime is also a potent and long lasting herbicide and growth retardant.Great for making hillside hearts and whatnot.

Re: The "Peralta" Stone Maps --- On Their Own
BTW,the rock horse head in the photo above is facing wsw ,as on the JT map.
The shot was taken about 5:30 pm in late Apr.2010.
The peak as shown on the Un-named map,as well as it's duplicate on the Heart Stone is much sharper than what Weaver's Needle is today.
What might this tell us about the age of either map?

Re: The "Peralta" Stone Maps --- On Their Own
Wayne,
Even in the last few years I was going in, I often hiked in or out. Prior to that, I never made the trip on horseback.
For those who like the horse as a big clue, try using Caballo Ojo, Eye Of The Horse, (Aylor's Arch) as a starting point for your drawing. Another little hint from Chuck Aylor?
Take care,
Joe

Re: The "Peralta" Stone Maps --- On Their Own
Morning Joe:
Is there a topo map which has "Caballo Ojo" or "Eye Of The Horse" named on it ?
Can't find "Caballo Ojo" written on any of the Stone Maps either.
Not even on the Stone Crosses or Latin Heart.
Or Abe Ried's Cursum Perficio Rock ,for that matter.
If the hole in Palomino Mtn. was at one end or the other,I could see it being called "Eye of the Horse"...otherwise it sounds more like a red herring hint.
The Aylors had their camp at the bottom of Palomino,which they called "Caballo Camp" (maybe they rode horses?) ,and they spent a fair bit of time digging holes on his Palomino claim below the arch.So Chuck must have thought that the mountain contained gold or something.
Now,if he had spelled the name as "Cobollo",that would have been a "hint".
A good article by Tom K.....http://www.ajpl.org/aj/superstition/stories/The Aylors.pdf
Doesn't mention Tumlinson,stone maps,or DeGrazia though.
If anyone was able to write about such a connection,I would think Tom could.
He has already researched and written about what he knows in several articles.
For me, if what could be a trail was carved or even scratched,from the Horse's eye to somewhere else on the H/P stone,I would only then consider it a possible starting point.
The carved line beginning at the Horse's nose would make a more likely jump off point.
Did Aylor have a hint about the Horse's nose ? Like maybe "the nose knows" or "heh lady,that ain't no banana ! That's my nose !"
Hahchchchchchah

Re: The "Peralta" Stone Maps --- On Their Own
I think we can be sure, when Tumlinson showed up with the stones,that Weaver's Needle was already quite blunt in appearance.
The "un-named" map likely showed up sometime after the Stone Maps.
